Hi Vincent, 

Do you still experience this bug with a recent buildroot version (2013.11 or
git)?
If so, can you clarify a bit more?

In buildroot, when you use the default target skeleton, /var/run is indeed a
symbolic link to /tmp.

And the S30dbus script does indeed:
# Create needed directories.
[ -d /var/run/dbus ] || mkdir -p /var/run/dbus
[ -d /var/lock/subsys ] || mkdir -p /var/lock/subsys
[ -d /tmp/dbus ] || mkdir -p /tmp/dbus

However, I don't understand how both conflict with each other. The creation of
/var/run/dbus will actually result in /tmp/dbus, which should be fine.

So maybe I don't fully understand the problem you experience. Please clarify.

Note that the patch you propose is not correct in my opinion: removing the
entire /var/run directory during the building of dbus, may remove files created
by other packages, which is not the intended behavior.
